Lipoma can occur at any age and to any person. But generally it occurs to middle aged people in the age group between 40 and 60 years. The rate of occurrence is 1 in 100. It is normal for individuals in this age group to have one or two lipoma growths in his/her body.
The Raccoon Dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides ânycto-â = Gr. ânight,â âereutesâ = Gr. âwanderer,â âprocyonâ = âraccoon,â â-oidesâ = Gr. â-oidâ) is a member of the canid family (which includes dogs, wolves, and foxes) and is indigenous to east Asia.
It is not at all related to a raccoon, but may be mistaken for one. A distant cousin of your dog, the raccoon dog is still a closer relation than a hyena. Raccoon dogs are native to eastern Asia and are farmed for their fur. Photograph by Flickr user Dennis Irrgang.
